Onwards to Cambridge!

Onto the next leg of our journey. We headed back to Heathrow airport to pick up our rental car, a very nice Mazda SUV, and left London headed to Cambridge. Nathan quickly took a wrong turn while tutu'ing with the cruise control, but 5 minutes later we were back on track.

Vela sent us to a Belgian waffle house, but the line was huge so we decided to give it a miss and had service station food instead. We continued on to Cambridge, making our way down some very British looking streets/roads - very narrow city streets, and country roads with beautiful lush shrubbery encroaching onto the roadway.

On our arrival into Cambridge, we went for a stroll along the river Cam. There were a few rowing skiffs out, and some pretty little river boats tied up to the sides of the canal. One of the boat captains was out enjoying the occasional ray of sunshine when it appeared.

We checked into our hotel - almost more of a boarding house setup, but it's only one night so it'll do us just fine. After a short rest we made our way back into the streets to explore. This time we walked around the Cambridge University campus. Most of the areas were closed as it was a Sunday, but we did get a good look at the Kings College Chapel, and a few "Harry Potter'esque" alleyways.

There were a bunch of punters heading up and down the river, but it was a bit chilly so we opted to keep our feet dry. We spotted a cool little bridge as we were walking back to our car, and overheard a tour guide calling it the "mathematicians bridge" and that there is a legend it was designed by Isaac Newton - although he went on to say there is no evidence to support this legend.Okumaya devam et
